"Window Live Mail could not be started. Closeing Window Live Mail. Your
Calendar
contains corrupt data that is forcing Window Live Mail to close. (0x8E5E0226)"

I keep getting the this error when I try to open WLM mail on my Win 7
machine. When I first loaded WLM on everything worked fine. I then used the
"Transfer your files" wizzard to move the files off of my older machine on
the newer one and after an update I was then unable to open WLM.

I have seen this question posted elsewhere but have not seen a response on
how to address the problem.

Thoughts?

You will need to delete the local copy of the calendar:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail\Calendars\

Gary provided the common solution but if I may ask did you perform the transfer from a Windows 7 Release Candidate o/s to an retail
or OEM Win7 machine or XP/Vista ?

Thanks.

a new windows 7 machine.

Thanks for the feedback.

Does this mean you removed WLM and reinstalled without having deleted the Calendar folder or the calendar folder for a respective
Live ID ?

I am also on Windows 7, I tried the common solution, unfortunately my
Calendars folder was already empty, so I did a Repair of the Windows Live
Essentials and that did the trick.
